THE  STANLEY  WORKS 

NEW  YORK  NEW  BRITAIN,  CONN.  CHICAGO 


Manufacturers  of  Butts,  Hinges,  Door  Bolts,  Shelf  Brackets, 
Blind  Trimmings  and  Wrought  Hardware. 


The  Stanley  Works  Factories  at  New  Britain,  Conn. 


A  poorly  hung  door  which  creaks  and  binds  is  a  source 
of  continual  annoyance  and  dissatisfaction.  The 
cause  is  usually  to  be  found  in  the  hinges,  which  either 
are  not  of  the  proper  size,  or  are  of  inferior  quality,  poorly 
manufactured  of  cheap  materials. 

Given  hinges  of  good  quality  and  handsome  finish, 
with  screws  of  the  proper  size,  the  average  carpenter  can 
hang  a  well  constructed  door,  so  that  it  will  swing  easily 
without  friction  or  noise.  Three  butt  hinges,  known  in 
the  trade  simply  as  “butts”  should  ordinarily  be  used  for 
each  door  to  prevent  warping.  Instead,  therefore,  of  using 
two  large  sized  butts,  it  is  better  practice  to  use  three  of 
a  smaller  size. 

The  ideal  material  for  Door  Butts  is  Cold  Rolled 
\\  rought  Steel.  Bronze  Butts  while  somewhat  more  ex¬ 
pensive  will  never  rust,  and  can  be  used  to  advantage  on 
outside  doors.  Very  few  Butts  and  Hinges  are  now  made 
of  Cast  Iron,  as  it  is  liable  to  break,  and  will  not  take  the 
handsome  finishes  of  Wrought  Steel  Hardware. 

The  Stanley  Works  was  the  first  manufacturing  con¬ 
cern  to  use  Cold  Rolled  Steel  for  Butts,  and  Hinges.  For 
over  fifty  years  it  has  continued  to  develop  the  possibili¬ 
ties  of  Wrought  Steel  Hardware.  One  of  the  largest  cold 
rolling  mills  in  the  United  States  is  operated  at  the  New 
Britain  Plant,  producing  all  of  the  steel  used  in  the  manu¬ 
facture  of  the  famous  Stanley  Butts.  The  Steel  is  care- 


2 


fully  tested  in  completely  equipped  laboratories,  and 
every  care  is  used  to  maintain  the  high  standard  of  the 
Stanley  Product. 

The  manufacturing  processes  through  which  the  metal 
passes  have  been  brought  by  constant  improvement  of 
both  methods  and  machinery  to  a  high  state  of  perfec¬ 
tion.  Trained  experts  supervise  every  portion  of  the 
work,  modern  systems  prevail  in  all  departments,  and  in 
addition  every  Stanley  Butt  is  frequently  inspected. 
After  the  goods  are  finished  and  ready  for  packing,  a 
rigid  final  inspection  is  made,  to  prevent  imperfect  goods 
being  placed  on  the  market. 

The  process  of  cold  rolling  gives  the  steel  a  bright 
smooth  surface  commonly  known  as  “Bright  Steel”. 
Plated  Butts  in  this  finish  are  called  “Planished 
Goods”,  to  distinguish  them  from  their  more  aristocratic 
brothers  the  “Polished”  Butts,  which  are  given  an  extra 
finish  and  are  the  finest  examples  of  Wrought  Hardware 
to  be  found.  The  Butts  are  heavily  plated  in  many  hand¬ 
some  effects  of  bronze,  brass,  antique  copper,  nickel, 
silver,  etc.  It  is  possible  to  produce  any  desired  finish 
to  match  the  other  door  hardware. 

The  subject  of  proper  packing  has  been  given  especial 
attention  and  as  a  consequence  Stanley's  Plated  Door 
Butts  are  all  separately  wrapped  in  such  a  manner  that 
the  surfaces  cannot  be  marred.  Screws  of  the  proper 
size  and  corresponding  finish  are  included  with  each  pair 
of  Butts.  This  insures  the  proper  hanging  of  the  doors, 
and  is  a  convenience  and  saving  of  expense  to  both  the 
owner  and  the  builder. 

In  the  succeeding  pages  a  few  of  the  Stanley  Butts,  and 
other  lines  of  Wrought  Hardware  are  illustrated  and  de¬ 
scribed.  They  can  be  purchased  through  any  reliable 
Hardware  Dealer.  They  are  the  “Standard”  of  the  Hard¬ 
ware  World,  and  their  use  will  insure  the  owner  of  a  new 
building  or  residence  that  his  doors  will  be  properly  hung.

A  door  hung  on  Stanley’s  Ball  Bearing  Butts  is 
properly  hung  in  every  respect.  Friction  is  elimi¬ 
nated  and  the  door  swings  smoothly  and  softly  without 
creaking  or  binding. 

The  Improved  Ball  Bearing  Washers  are  so  construct¬ 
ed  that  they  cannot  come  apart.  Each  ball  is  turned 
from  solid  steel,  and  will  carry  one  thousand  pounds 
without  crushing.  As  the  weight  of  the  door  is  entirely 
carried  on  these  bearings,  it  can  readily  be  seen  that  the 
Ball  Bearing  Butts  will  never  wear  down  or  break.  The 
bearings  are  protected  by  a  brass  cap  from  dust  and 
moisture  and  the  butts  consequently  never  require  oiling. 

Owing  to  the  increased  strength  and  their  everlasting 
wearing  qualities,  Stanley’s  Ball  Bearing  Butts,  while  of 
slightly  higher  price  than  ordinary  Butts,  are  more 
economical  in  the  end,  and  prevent  the  annoyance  caused 
by  squeaking,  binding  hinges. 

Stanley’s  Ball  Bearing  Butts  are  equipped  with  pat¬ 
ented  Non-rising  Loose  Pins.  The  wings  on  the  pin  which 
fit  into  corresponding  slots  in  the  joint,  prevent  the  pin 
working  up  under  the  action  of  the  door,  as  so  frequently 
happens  with  the  ordinary  loose  pins.  These  pins  can 
be  as  easily  taken  out,  however,  as  other  loose  pins. 

Stanley  Ball  Bearing  Butts  are  made  in  all  sizes  and 
can  be  supplied  in  any  desired  finish.  They  are  made  in 
the  following  grades: 

No.  180 — Wrought  Bronze  Ball  Bearing  Butts.  Polished.  Im¬ 
proved  Ball  Bearing  Washers,  Non-Rising  Loose  Pins  and 
Beveled  Joints.  This  is  the  ideal  Butt  for  heavy  exterior  doors. 
No.  BB  239 — Wrought  Steel  Ball  Bearing  Butts.  Improved 
Washers,  Non-Rising  Loose  Pins  and  Beveled  Joints.  These 
Butts  are  highly  polished  and  heavily  plated,  and  mark  the 
highest  perfection  in  Wrought  Steel  Hardware. 

No.  BB  2411/2 — Wrought  Steel  Ball  Bearing  Butts.  Improved 
Ball  Bearing  Washers.  Non-Rising  Pins.  Polished  Finish. 
While  these  butts  are  not  so  highly  finished  as  the  No.  239, 
they  are  an  excellent  grade  of  hardware  and  will  give  com¬ 
plete  satisfaction. 

No.  BB  241 — Wrought  Steel  Ball  Bearing  Butts.  Improved 
Ball  Bearing  Washers.  Non-Rising  Pins.  Planished  Finish. 
These  Butts  are  not  of  as  high  a  grade  as  those  preceding, 
but  are  superior  to  any  other  make  of  Steel  Butts.

Properly  hung  doors  can  be  obtained  with  cer¬ 
tainty  only  by  specifying  the  use  of  Stanley's  Butts 
for  your  new  home  or  building.  Stanley’s  Wrought  Steel 
and  Bronze  Loose  Pin  Butts  are  used  for  hanging  more 
doors  than  all  other  makes  combined.  They  represent 
sixty  years  of  continual  improvement  in  design,  materials 
and  methods  of  manufacture  and  are  the  accepted  Stand¬ 
ard  of  the  Hardware  and  Building  Trades.  They  are  made 
of  the  best  grades  of  carefully  selected,  thoroughly  tested 
Wrought  Steel  and  Bronze.  Every  finished  Butt  is  accu¬ 
rately  designed,  perfectly  constructed  and  handsomely 
finished.  They  are  all  stamped  with  the  Stanley  Trade 
Mark,  which  is  a  guaranty  of  quality.  To  prevent  the 
substitution  of  inferior  lines  examine  the  labels  and  goods 
for  this  Trade  Mark. 

No.  175 — Wrought  Bronze  Loose  Pin  Butts.  Patented  Non- 
Rising  Pins  and  Ball  Tips.  Polished  Finish.  Steel  Bushings 
in  the  joints  to  prevent  wearing  down.  The  inner  leaves  are 
beveled  to  insure  a  perfect  fitting  joint.  Stamped  with  No.  175 
in  addition  to  the  trade-mark. 

.No.  239 — Wrought  Steel  Loose  Pin  Butts.  Non-Rising  Pins  and 
Ball  Tips  highly  polished  and  heavily  plated.  Inner  leaves 
beveled.  These  Butts  are  stamped  with  No.  239  in  addition 
to  the  trade-mark. 

No.  241^ — Wrought  Steel  Loose  Pin  Butts.  Ball  Tips.  Polished 
Finish. 

No.  241 — Wrought  Steel  Loose  Pin  Butts.  Ball  Tips.  Planished 
Finish. 

These  Butts  correspond  in  finish  and  workmanship 
with  the  Ball  Bearing  Butts  of  the  same  number.  The 
Wrought  Steel  Butts  inches  and  larger  have  five 
knuckles  in  the  joint,  smaller  sizes  three.  Sizes  run  from 
2j/2  inch  x  2j4  inch  to  8  x  10  inch.  All  of  the  popular 
finishes  are  regularly  made  and  our  plating  department 
can  produce  any  finish  desired  to  match  the  other  hard¬ 
ware.

ORNAMENTAL  SURFACE  BUTTS

Raised  Design 


No.  165 

Beveled  Edge 


The  handsome  ornamental  design  of  these  Hinges 
possesses  the  beauty  and  dignity  of  simplicity. 

In  hanging  doors  it  is  necessary  to  mortise  the  case¬ 
ment  only,  the  ornamental  surface  of  the  hinges  being 
screwed  to  the  face  of  the  door.  This  saves  both  time 
and  labor  with  corresponding  saving  in  expense. 

These  Hinges  are  reversible,  and  can  be  made  either 
right  or  left  hand  by  unscrewing  the  ball  tip  which  has 
a  slotted  head  and  screwing  the  tip  in  the  opposite  end 
of  the  joint. 

They  are  packed  with  oval  head  screws  for  the  orna¬ 
mental  leaf,  which  complete  the  contour  of  the  design, 
and  flat  head  screws  for  the  flat  leaf. 

They  are  made  in  standard  sizes  and  anv  desired  finish.

danger  of  mistakes  in  the  size  of  hinges  or  screws. 

The  Boxes  are  neat  and  strong,  the  Hinges  are  clean, 
and  the  Screws  are  exactly  the  right  size  for  each  pair  of

lutely  prevents  rust,  prolonging  the  life  of  the  hardware, 
and  at  the  same  time  giving  a  neat,  finished  appearance.

STANLEY’S 

IMPROVED  GRAVITY  RLIND  HINGES 

Wrought  Steel 

Patented 


Properly  hung  blinds  are  an  important  detail  of  the 
perfect  home.  Hung  on  poorly  designed,  cheaply  con¬ 
structed  hinges,  blinds  will  be  difficult  to  open  and  close, 
and  will  rattle  and  bang  in  a  manner  destructive  in  its 
effect  on  the  temper  of  the  owner,  as  well  as  to  the  blinds 
themselves. 

These  blind  hinges  operate  easily  and  simply,  locking 
automatically.  To  close  the  blind  it  is  only  necessary  to 
raise  it  slightly  and  swing  it  around.  The  top  and  bot¬ 
tom  hinges  are  exactly  alike  and  can  be  used  on  either 
the  right  or  left  hand  side. 

Finished  in  plain  steel  or  “Stanley”  Sherardized.
